On June 9, Dr. Dana took Bald Eaglet #16-1012 to surgery to repair the bird's left major metacarpal fracture. Dr. Dana was able to achieve good alignment of the fractured bone and placed an external fixator to stabilize the fracture. Four pins, stabilized by a sturdy external bar, will hold the fractured bone in place during the next few weeks. The bird's wing was bandaged, and the eaglet recovered from anesthesia well in the Center's holding room.
